THE GREAT ESCAPE

"Here! John B, here!" Trinity says, finding an unlocked door leading to the outside.

"Yeah, go," John B follows her out and the two run around shouting Sarah's name looking for her.

Still, no sign until they saw two people at the end of the rail by a lifeboat. "John that's them!" Trinity points out.

"Of course it's Ward," He says sprinting down to save Sarah.

Ward was choking Sarah at the edge of the railing so John B came from behind and hit him in the back of the head, making him release Sarah.

Trinity went to her friend, "Sarah, come here, you're okay, can you breathe?" She asks. They were both kneeling on the ground, Trinity was cupping her face, wiping her tears with her thumb.

"I can't believe you're here," She whispered, "Did Rose give you those meds too?"

Trinity nods and turns to look at John B and Ward fighting.

"This is your fault!" Ward groaned, getting John B in a headlock.

"No!" Sarah screamed.

Trinity had to think of something because John B was in trouble. She got up from beside Sarah, ignoring her attempts to keep her seated and quickly went behind Ward, elbowing hard in the back and kicking him in the back of the legs.

John B was quickly released and turned around, to punch Ward in the face over and over again, "Come on Ward!"

Finally, Ward fell backwards, but he hit his head on the edge of the metal, causing his head to start bleeding. Trinity placed her hand over her mouth and sat back down next to Sarah.

"Is this how you did it?" John B asks, "Huh? Is this how you killed my father? You just throw him in the ocean?" John B sniffles and forces Ward to look at him, "I never got to say goodbye. Because of you. This is all your fault."

John B grabs Ward by the shirt and is ready to throw him in the ocean, to give him the same fate as Big John. He looks to Sarah, who is silently crying as she nods but he didn't do it and left Ward moaning on the ground.

"Hey, we gotta go, okay?" He crouches down in front of the girls and wipes Sarah's face. "I got you. Come on. We need to pick up the others."

They all stand up in a line, Trinity quickly takes her tracksuit hoodie off and she's wearing a simple navy blue shirt underneath, similar to Sarah's just different color.

Sarah takes both John B and Trinity's hands just before they all jump into the ocean. The cold water took Trinity's breath away as she swam for her life to the lifeboat.

"Come on, I hope they got the cross!" John B says as he climbs in and goes to help the girls one by one.

Trinity runs to the engine and starts it quickly. Her adrenaline made it easy to pull the line and start it first try. She took the boat around where the cross was hanging over.

"There it is," Sarah says looking at it.

But Pope and Cleo looked like they were in trouble. Macias was shooting up the ladder where Pope was, and Cleo was trying to control the cross from the rope.

"Drop the line!" Pope shouts at her.

"Why?"

"We're pinched! Just do it!"

"Are you sure?!"

"Yes! Drop it!"

John B and Sarah look at each other, disappointed but Pope was right. They didn't have much choice.
